The Trustees are pleased to report a grant award to Move The Massess. The grant will go towards their Move Mates York project.
The Move Mates project makes getting out for a walk a reality for people who might otherwise find barriers in their way. Our volunteers give people confidence to get out and go for a walk, improving their physical health, reducing isolation and ultimately making people feel happier
The project helps people to get out and about with the support of a volunteer walking buddy. They pair people with a Move Mate volunteer living or working within the same local community to meet regularly for a walk.
This can be a walk to the shops, to collect a prescription or simply a stroll round the local area. Move Mates supports people of all ages to improve both physical and mental wellbeing. We provide the motivation, company and moral support to help people to become more active and less socially isolated.
